Feature Request: Add Dedicated "Orange" Slider to Photoshop's Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer

Hi Adobe Photoshop Team,

I am writing to request a feature update to the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer panel. Please add a dedicated Orange option to the master dropdown menu, matching the functionality found in Lightroom’s Color Mixer and Camera Raw.

Currently, Photoshop users must manually adjust the sliders for Reds or Yellows to target orange tones. This is a common bottleneck for skin tones, autumn landscapes, and sunset photography.

Proposed Implementation:

Add "Oranges" to the Hue/Saturation dropdown menu (Master, Reds, Yellows, Greens, Cyans, Blues, Magentas).
Set the default color picker range for the Orange channel to sit precisely between Red and Yellow.

This small integration would bridge a major workflow gap between Lightroom and Photoshop, creating a more unified and efficient editing experience across the Creative Cloud.

Thank you for your time and continuous improvements to the software.

Best regards,
Ike Veneris

In the meantime, you can use the ACR filter as a smart filter.

That observation is a core principle of software engineering, systems design, and problem-solving. When users or developers must build a "workaround," it directly signals a gap between what a system should do and what it actually does.
Workarounds Equal Inefficiency…
•   Friction: Workarounds add extra steps, increasing the time and effort required to complete a task.
•   Cognitive Load: Users must remember a non-intuitive sequence of actions instead of a direct path.
•   Hidden Costs: Organizations waste resources training people on "how to trick the system" to get the desired output.
•   Design Flaws: The original creators did not anticipate real-world user workflows or edge cases.
•   Feature Gaps: The function lacks a critical sub-feature, forcing users to stitch multiple tools together.

Thank you for your help; but I don’t believe they can do this. While Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop both adjust color, they use fundamentally different mathematical models and workflows to process Hue, Saturation, and Luminance… the underlying color engines are different; Lightroom, splits the spectrum into 8 distinct color channels while Photoshop offers a master channel for 6 preset color channels.
